A delight!

My 3 kids (13, 10, and 5) and I enjoyed the cabin and would happily stay there again. We went in Feb 2025. The host, Martin, was top-notch - extremely responsive, had an excellent suggestion about where to go sledding, and promptly resolved a small problem we encountered (no body wash in a shower).

Very secluded

The property was exactly how it was presented on the website. The owner communicated well with us. The power went out for about 1100 people and we were one of them and he communicated with us through the process beautiful home great location. It’s the fifth cabin we rented in Green Valley Lake and it’s the best one so far, we will be back
